There was no decision making process. He was using AU to see if Ole Miss would beat their offer.

Clearly you did enough to comment

Twitter is not the real world. Talking heads on YouTube pushing content don’t represent real world sentiment either. I am a typical OM fan and I totally understood.

Free enterprise. Capitalism. Negotiate for what you want. Those things make America great! Can’t blame the guy.

I don’t know the whole story here, but a lot of fans don’t understand that coaching is a profession like any other. Everyone wants the best opportunity they can get and there’s no such thing as loyalty, just professionalism.

No one wants to go to auburn. You are directly competing with Bama and Georgia on both recruiting and the field of play. No one is going to survive there.

He is stuck in Oxford. The newness of him will wear off and he’ll be fired

Everyone gets fired except Nick Saban. The question is what you accomplish before you wear out your welcome.

Well, it’s professional courtesy and you get a nice raise. The jimmy sexton method at work.
